MargieH 7,600 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 In about 1950, my Dad had a Standard 12 (I think) with the reg JAL 999. One day when we were travelling on a little road somewhere between Ollerton and Retford we met another car travelling in the opposite direction and it was JAL 998. We waved to each other and carried on. I suppose it wasn't such a huge coincidence as there weren't so many cars on the road way back then... It obviously made an impression on the 7 year old me though, as I could probably still find exactly where it happened on that road even now! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob.L 1,090 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 #81 A few months ago, I was driving through Colwick when I noticed that the car in front was an identical make and model as mine, with the same first two letters and numbers, except his reg ended HRN while mine was HRM. In other words his was registered at the same time as mine. What was unusual is that both cars were first registered in Chelmsford, Essex. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davep5491 360 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 TRD #84 - Yep was on his Ferrari now transferred to his orange Lamborghini Huracan. He's either loving life or still rebelling in his mid forties. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beeston Mick, we were travelling from Nottingham to visit relatives who lived in Beckingham or Wiseton (can't remember which one on that particular day) we travelled through Retford on the way, I think Quote Link to post Share on other sites

davep5491 360 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Lizzie #93 Ferrari and Lambo apparently have an optional extra, front suspension lifting system. Necessary as their drive until recently resembled Land Rover's proving ground and used to trouble me enough in my VW Polo. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Beeston Mick and Catfan: My NSU 1200 cost me £15 from a scrapyard on Colwick Road (Near that famous scrap metal dealer, whose name just escapes me - Pownall's?). It cost me another £10 to put it through its MOT. A total of £25. I drove it for a year and then took it back to another scrap yard and got £10 for it. Not bad eh?! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeestonMick 263 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 NSU's were the dogs, I don't understand how they disappeared so quickly after all the mergers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Could have been Tricket's scrap yard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
